Abstract :
This paper presents an analysis of the polarization characteristics of specular and dense multipath components (SMC & DMC) in a large industrial hall based on frequency-domain channel sounding experiments at 1.3 GHz with 22 MHz bandwidth. The RiMAX maximum-likelihood estimator is used to extract the full polarimetric SMC and DMC from the measurement data by taking into account the polarimetric radiating patterns of the dual-polarized antennas. Cross-polar discrimination (XPD) values are presented for the measured channels and for the SMC and DMC separately.
